Long Cloaks and Short Coats-Raglans
and Newmarkets.
Especial Correspondence.l
NEW YORK, Sept 29--And now the
shops swarm with women who are after
wraps. 1t goes without saying that wraps
are terrors to the fair one with limited
means. And like bread-yes, even before
bread sometimes-they must be obtained.
/ condole with the saleswOmen in the
wrap departments just now. Dozens Of
women make the rounds and buy nothing
until they have tried on everything at all
the houses. Then they 60 home and look
at an imaginary panorama OF all they
have seen for days before they decide.
Then, most likely, when they fix upon
one and go back after it it is not there.
The best plan is to buy thing that suits
you when you find it, if you intend to buy
similar thing at all But, of course,
many of the fair shoppers are haunted by
the fear that il they snap at The first thing
they see they will later see something
they like better and be tortured all winter
because of their haste. If they neglect to
buy what pleases them when they have
chance and they fail to get it when they
go after it, there is great agony of spirit
to undergo. So you see there is no roy:.l
road Of escape from possible woe-except
one. That is, don't let your mind stray
from the garment you have settled upon.
Don't compare it with this or with that
and allow yourself to dwell upon its
faults. Clothes are like people. Look for
their good qualities and you will find
them. Hunt for blemishes and you will
also find them. Believe in your own
clothes. Respect them. They are part
Of yourself, and whatever confidence YOU
put in them will be fully repaid by the
way they will stand by you and give you
confidence in yourself. In the first place
get as good garments aL you can and then
show them that you are not ashamed Of
them. AS sure as fate, If you act the least
bit as though you 6istrusted their ability
to make a nice appearance they will grow
Us awkward as aw lie ON land and make
you appear like fool.

But to return to our mutton, otherwise
wraps. There are long ones and short
ones, but the long ones are firing more
hearts than the Others, and we'll may they,
being as they are, adorable. They are of
all weights, and their surfaces are both
rough and smooth. The very rough ones,
though stylish, belong especially to very
cold weather, and then one IS apt in
course of time to grow a little tired of
them. The English che,iots arc very nice,
though not heavy enough for winter
wrap. The long, ulster like things are
made SO styllshly that many well dressed
ladies use them for general wear insteaC
of the more dressy cloaks. The one in
the picture is what is called a raglan. II
is most graceful, useful and stylish gar
ment. The front can fall loose in pleats,
or fit half in to the figure like the
loose front the best. The sleeve is wide
and gathered in to n wide band at the
wrist, or pleated to n flare without the
band. Some have sling sleeves-a great
wide flap of the cloth tucked up for the
arms to rest in like u sling. They are
pretty, but cold. The Newmarkets are
close fitting and have coat sleeves. They
are mostly made Of heavier materials
than the raGlans, being designed for finer
wear. i pin my faith to the raglans; they
are refined looking garment. Every
lady should have one, If possible, no mat
ter what else she has OF has not. They
are developers. They cover your old gar
ments and protect your new If not too
heavy they are useful for all seasons
The black ones are beautiful and admir-
able. They are really the wisest things
for almost any lady TO purchase, But the
colored ones are 80 far to see, SO taking"
and fetching that only the heroic souls
will settle down on black and look upon
the charms Of the others no more. And
remember that if you buy a black one
you will not get tired Of it, as Of the
colUrcd ones.
If you do not have to depend Oh Your
raglan or Newmarket for both general and
particular wear, i ADVISE you to buy one
Of rather light weight otherwise it will
pull you down 10 wear it on O warm,
waNy, murky winter day. Some of the
raglans and Ncwmarkets have hoods aud
some have cares.
In short wraps there is not much
change from the general style prcva-
lent last year The come in plush, in
velvet, in brocatcllc and other materials.
Some have tabs in front aud some have
not. All are deliberately trimmed. Jet
figures prominently en- the black ones.
Fur is plentiful The whole assortment
is bewifdering. For very swell evening
wear there are red ones, ecru ones, cream
colorcd ones and pale canary ones.
Peculiar magniilcencc is the character
tstic Of wraps this autumn. They keep
pace with the other expensive trappirgs Of
the toilet The business of c,oaking your
self is easily done If you have a full
purse.
An ingenious arrangement for making
plain Newmarket or ulster "dreSsy" is
to have n satin plastron with fur collar
70 wear with il, and fur trimmed satin
muff to accompany it. These two adj
juncts make ever such a fine finish to
toilet.
Moirc is very fashionable for trimming
1t comes In handy in the making over pro
cess. NAOMI TiFEr.

BOY INCENDIARY LYSCHED.
Strung Up by n California Mob for
Grimes TO which lie Confessed,

A Modesto (Cal. telegram says: The
body of Frank McCutcheon, aged six
teen, was found hanging to a tree near
Oakdale yesterday morning. He came
TO his death at the hands of a mob. Oak
dale has been visited by a great many
fires recently, all Of which gave unmis-
taxable evidence of being the work of an
incendiary. Friday evening McCutcheon
was caught in the act of setting fire to a
barn belonging to Mollester 4 Dunlap,
and was taken before Justice Warder
who held him to answer before the
Superior Court. Excitement was run
ming high in Oakdale and it was deemed
precautiary measure to move the
prisoner Immediately to the county Jail,
and Constable James Sawantol started
out at a late hour for this city.
At Patterson's Field the constable WIS
overpowered by a crowd, who took the
culprit out of the officers charge and
hanged him. He was brother of the
boy McCutcheOn who was convicted and
sentenced to eight years Imprisonment
by the Superior Court a few months
since for the murder of his step brother
last Christmas. Before being hanged
the boy confessed, acknowledging ten or
twelve incendiary fires.

4 NEW TL1ING.MACHINE.
Two Gotham Electricians Think
Tncy Have Solved the Problem.

4 New York special says: Mr.. Charles
G. Curtis and Francis Il. Croker two
practical electricians, have for year or
more been giving their attention to the
unsoiyed problem OF aerial navigation.
They believe they have perfected
an electrical contnvance that will
enable them TO control the di-
rection Of captive balloon in
motion The new flying machine is yet
only a theory, but it will soon be put to
practical test. Many Of the details.
although fully worked ont, cannot he
made public, as the inventors have not
yet complctedtheirpatents. Mr.. Croker,
however, did not hesitate to give
general description of the new machine
this morning. He believed it the most
simple of any that has go far been pro-
posed.
The motive power and steering appa-
ratus consist of a fan from five to ten
feet in diameter, with wide blade of
thin Steel. The fan is TO work horizon
tally deriving its power from an electric
motor suspended just below the centre
or hub Of the lowest side, while below
the motor the car or basket Will be
suspended. The motor will weigh not
mo.e than POO pounds. and viii have the
force OF a ten horse engine The fen will
ordiuarlymake ,500rcvolutions permin-
ute, hut can be increased to 5000, or even
5000 revolutions in case Of an emer-
cncy The steel blade acting against
the air, such speed Will be sufficient to
carry the machine upwards and to steer
It with or against a current of air by de-
Aections OF the fan. The new flying
machneis not, however, a free agent TO
fit like q bird where it likes TO go, but
IT must remain captive, connected with
wire. A dynamo viii furnish power to
the motor
Up to the present time no storage sys-
TEN has been discovered of sufficient
power or liehmcss that it could be car
ried by the machine itself. MIR. Croker
is deeply interested in his invention,
bat le admits that it will be of 10 prac-
teal utility except for war purposes or
observation. re hopes TO have the
machine perfected in time for exhibition
at the Paris Exposition.

Angry Natives GEAR pOoroUeen aRpi-
Oiarf's Paris DRESSES 10 Shreds.
VANITY L ,irI

A correspondent at Honolulu informs
me that after the return of Queen Kapi-
olaui and her sister in-law to the capital
of Hawaii their Royal Hignesses had the
portraits taken OF them IN LondOn-the
finest specimens OF Walery's sklll-ex-
poscdin the shop-wiudows, both ladies
being dressed in some of those
superb costumes which were the envy
of female heartsin New York and London
last sumner This breach of native
custom has greatly incensed the good
ladies of Honolulu, who, having held
public meeting, at which IA resolution
was unanimously passed Disappearing of
the attire OF the two royal ladies', went
s.raightwly in a body 10 the shops IN
question and destroyed all the portraits
Not satisfied even with this bit OF re-
venge. and no doubt stimulated by the
recent success OF their husbands and
brothers in revolution. they next pro-
ceaded tothe Royal Palace and demanded
that the offensive European garments
should be handed over to their tender
merci,s. After terrible lamentations on
the part Of the Queen aud the Princess
Lilioulogalini, his Majesty had to comply
with the request of the irate native Ia
dies, who tore the dresses 10 shreds, aud
moreover extracted the promise that the
two ladies should in future only wear
"native costumes-garments which
rather display than conceal the female
form divine.

4 WOUNDED BULL-FIGHTER.
Eleven Thousand People Leave Cards
az TrascneIo's House In One Day.

A London cable dispatch says: The
Madrid newspapers of Monday last
contain accounts OF little incident
which sheds curious light on the
strange Spanish fetish of a bull
fight On Sunday one OF the best
huli-fghts Of the season took place.
Eight men with lances and picks had
done their torturing work and then ar
rived the great moment, N cOgida, when
Frascuclo, tine celebrated espada, sprang
into the ring TO give the death blow. As
be lifted his little red flag to the in
furiated animal to furry it, and so have
an opportunity to deal a clean death
stroke, the bull made a sudden and des-
perate rush at him, burying his horns in
the abdomen of his persecutor.
Despite the terrible agony Of his
wound. Frascuelo did not lose his
presence Of mind for a moment, and
with one thrust killed the bull. The
next moment he fell unconscious, and
was carried behind the barriers. 1t
was announced that he was MORALLY
wounded. but the audiencev did not
turn a hair or drop a tear, and de-
handed fresh bulls. While the specta-
tors were cheering n new bull.killer poor
Frascuelo was transported to his home,
where the physicians pronounced his
wounds very serious, but not necessarily
fatal. After all the bulls had been killed
the audience awoke from its bloodthirsti-
ness. and then there occurred scene
such as only Madrid is capable of pro-
ducing.
Twenty thousand people rushed
around to Frascuelos house and de-
manded that the wounded fighter should
show himself. This the doctors refused
topermit ; the people became uproarious,
and, fearing that the wound was fatal,
demanded that a committee be al
lowed TO visit him and satisfy
themselves as to his condition.
This was permitted, and the ire
mendous gathering. treasured as to their
fayorite's fate, formed in line and
marched through the house leaving their
cards. The line kept up for five hours,
aud that evening 1900 cards were left
ON the bah table. Among the callers
were erandces, members of Sagastas
Cabinet, prominent deputies, and John
/. Sullivan.
